We left our studio in Madrid, thankful for the comfortable place to stay and its great central location. We had easy access to 2 metro stations and were right in the center of things. It never took us long to get where we wanted to go.
We left for Toledo from Madrid's Estacion de Atocha, the site of the terrible bombings in March 2004 that killed 101 people and injured many more.
The station is home to an indoor palm garden with its very own resident turtles.
We were pleased to see our Toledo digs, all arranged through the Internet using AirBnB. We are no longer in the big city but in Spain's former capital with thousands of years of history - Roman, Jewish, Visigothic, Moorish, and Christian.
The entire city, with 10,000 residents, has been declared a national monument and is so well preserved that the Spanish government has forbidden any modern exteriors.
